THE MIDLAND RAILROAD.

An APPEAL reporter, unable to de-
tain Col. Josiah Paterson long enough
to be interviewed in regard to the
progress Of the Tennessee Midland
railway, secured the promise from
that gentleman OF written statement
embracing all the inform alton sought,
and for which we make room today on
the second page. We ask for this pa
per, written in the clear and compre-
hensive style usual to Col. Patterson, "a
very carefal re ,ding by all men who
feel themselves interested in the pro-
gress of the State. The figures he fur
nishes and the reasons he gives why
the people Of Shelby county, the citi.
Gems of Memphis especially, should
subscribe TO build this great highway,
are irresistibly conclusive. Not all
Il g roads in Tennt ssee together have
done as much for lis people as this
road will do. 1t will open mp the yet
unreveaied mineral wealth OF the
State and iniuse new life into all the
arteries Of trade and commerce. II
will induce the investment + millIonf
OF dollara OF cipital in mines and mat
ufsctories, and will thus increase the
wealth and population of the State

rived by its construction By citiz ,ns o

THE EPIsUOP CHURCH OF
SOUTH CAROLINA


A telegram published on the tenth
pege says that fourteen lay and one
clerical delegate to the Episcopal
Church Convention, Of the Diocese Of
South Carolina. had withdrawn from
that body because some colored min
is'ers had been admitted. The con.
duct OF these delegates is, to cay the
least, illogical. The Episcopal Church
claims 10 be the Catholic, that is, the
universal church, the Church OF God,
and il brooks no rivals near the divine
throne. This claim is logically main
tanned by the mother branch known as
the Church Of England, which admits
not only. colOred clerical but co..
orad lay delegates to her con-
ventions and congresses. The
church militant, che represents the
church triu nphaut, where there is
neither color nor any respecting OF
PERSONS. 1t the scceiing Episc opalans
of South Oarolira want to bs logic Il
they must abandon the claim to uui.
versatility by the church and must take
tbe position OF the Gong egationalists,
Untverealists, Methodists, Presbyteri-
ana and Bsptists, that church is
merely a congregation of faithful
Christian people, and relegate the
black sheep to bishops Of their own
color aud church organization OF
their own making, This Is q horn OF
the dilemma that will, perhaps, be dis.
tasteful TO them, but 1t 10 the one they
VIII have to swallow or prepare fol
social intercourse with their former
slaves. Once admitted to the church
convention the colored delegates can
not bs excluded from any church gath
ering, including Sundsy school pic
nics church sociables or congresses
IA h,r the divine paternity aud his
torc pc iition of the church must be
given up, and its assumption of cath
olicity, or else 1t must do. as the Roman
Catholic Church does, the Church o
, England, tn, Greek, Armenian and
: Egyptian churches, and make no dis
elimination as to color. 1t wfs thu
great boast Of Catholics everywher,
